Beschreibung

Second printing with 1996 at copyright; no other dates, indications. Signed at title page by James Collier: "To Bob Pering., - J Collier, 7-20-96". Glossy pictorial wraps, some corner wear, crease to back cover. Note penned above titles to front cover: "Please return to Bob Per." Wrap-around cover design depicts bloodied American flag ensnared by rather nefarious appearing eagle. Pages very good. Bind good, moderate cant. Includes four pages from chapter "Can't You Hear the Whistle Blowin'?' with not so flattering impressions and details of former Senator Joe Biden and a counselor who worked out of JB's office named Guy Moluk. Near good, signed 1996 issue of this monumental work. Fascinating and daring exposé confronts readers with one of the weirdest, wildest and astonishing non-fiction detective stories ever. The Collier brothers track down, confront and name the establishment figures who elegantly, or inelegantly, tilt results for power and profit. This is the groundbreaking investigation into the corruption stemming in all directions and times from the booth. The culmination of a 25-year investigation into computerized selection, journalists James and Kenneth Collier pose the question, "Why can t we vote the bastards out?" Their question answers itself: "Because we didn t vote the bastards in." We come face to face with a Supreme Court Justice who buries key evidence in a pivotal case; the most powerful female publisher in America, who refuses to permit her newspapers and tv stations to report; an Attorney General who jailed Jim Collier to avoid an investigation; and a cast of weak and corrupt politicos, lawyers, media announcers, computer hacksters, professors, plutocrats, technocrats, aristocrats, intel operatives, outraged citizens, conspiracy researchers, and crusaders. All involved in this scandal of unthinkable proportion entangled in a massive crime, and yet to be held accountable. Votescam fills in the blanks as it tracks down, confronts, and names the cabal who silently alter the outcomes. The first printing published in 1992, has since been updated by journalist Victoria Collier, daughter and niece, respectively, of the late James and Kenneth Collier, to reflect more current threats. As technology grows ever more powerful, the need to read the original or updated edition is evident.
